Just be careful... I've heard the 2.0 coils run hotter than stock and, as such, the cover may prevent them from getting adequate ventilation. FWIW, I haven't seen anyone actually have coilpack failures running them this way, I was just "warned" when I did mine and it seems credible since Audi doesn't use coil covers like this anymore. But who knows. Apikol makes a vented cover for 1.8 coils for this reason, but apparently it doesn't work with 2.0 coils(?). Anyway, food for thought... might want to inspect them from time to time or just keep it in mind if you start having ignition issues.

Yup, I had actually heard the same thing. I’m thinking about getting some washers to raise it up and allow for ventilation, but this might be the sort of thing I’ll just run at car shows. Then again, I’m in the same boat— never heard anything concrete! A few people still run the covers with the coils so who knows.
